The reason I say this is because it is known to cause sugar drops. It made me hypoglycemic and nothing I did would correct it to feel better. Low blood sugar is a terrible feeling. I was just taking one pill a day too! It was a few days before I noticed. I still have half a bottle and i think I can attribute taking it to some change in my breasts... if I ever take the rest I'll do it sporadically so that I don't get the blood sugar problems with it.
I did read that about Fenugreek (dropping blood sugar levels) but did not think much of it. I will need to consider this when I go to start up my workout routine again. Thanks for sharing your experience, Summerglow! I have no idea how many miligrams were in your one pill, so I cannot know if that is crazy or not (as it may be a high dosage). As for starting at a low dose while NOT exercising, however, I really think I may be the last person on this forum who will need to worry about it since I have a diet regulated to try to keep my body consistently in an anabolic state (in other words, I never go on an empty stomach, eating every 2-3 hours). Fenugreek may make it harder for me to keep in an anabolic state, but my diet should definitely keep me from experiencing hypoglycemia. My brother is a Type I Diabetic, so I am familiar with the symptoms of low blood sugars and how to fix it. Consuming more glucose calories than you burn is the only way to do it!
But as far as whether or not it can be taken with PM, can someone please confirm this (or deny this)?
